Destination weddings are a lot of fun and Beach weddings so much more so and yet so different from weddings in other types of venues. Sand and sea, sun and wind, beach weddings are filled with all sorts of challenges, but the rewards can be beautiful. Sun-kissed faces, rose petals drifting across the sand, sea shells placed on chairs to hold down programs, gorgeous sunrises or sunsets, and footprints washed away with the tide. Beach weddings are magical occasions, where the permanence of marriage meets the fleeting moments on the beach, where the sand and wind seem to sweep away the traces of the ceremony, just moments after the couple says “I Do.”
One of the contrast from traditional ceremonies to those performed on a beach are the use of décor that emphasizes the theme of a beach wedding. Starfish, sea shells, raffia tied around brightly color florals, linen suits, airy dresses, and even sunglasses for the guests. Of all these, the bride’s bouquet is one wedding detail that stands out with sea shells and pearls placed in the tops of the flower buds, star fish dangling from a raffia bow, tied to the stem of the bouquet, maybe even sea grapes leaves filling out the bottom of the bouquet.
Even the most intimate weddings have touches of the tropics when they are taking place on one of Florida’s beautiful beaches. From Clearwater to Sarasota, Jacksonville to Miami, Pensacola to Panama City, thousands of couples each year tie the knot and say “I Do” in a destination wedding on the beach.
